Periodic database search manager for multiple data sources

A non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computer hardware processor perform operations comprising:

• accessing a search object, the search object comprising one or more search terms, a data source identifier, and a frequency, wherein the data source identifier corresponds to a first data source;
• querying the first data source at a first time, wherein said querying at the first time determines a first plurality of search results;
• determining to query the first data source again based at least in part on the frequency;
• querying the first data source at a second time, wherein said querying at the second time determines a second plurality of search results;
• comparing the first plurality of search results to the second plurality of search results;
• in response to said comparison, determine a new search result, wherein the new search result is present in the second plurality of search results and not present in the first plurality of search results;
• and
• transmitting a first alert, wherein the first alert corresponds to the new search result.

A system for scheduling recurrent searches of multiple disparate data sources and for distributing results of the recurrent searches, the system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer storage medium configured to store a first plurality of search results;
• a search system, the search system configured to search a plurality of data sources, wherein each data source of the plurality of data sources comprises an electronic log;
• an alert system;
• and
• one or more hardware computer processors programmed, via executable code instructions, to:
• access a search object, the search object comprising one or more search terms, a plurality of data source identifiers, and an execution condition, wherein the plurality of data source identifiers corresponds to first and second data sources of the plurality of data sources;
• determine to query the first and second data sources based at least in part on the execution condition;
• query, via the search system, the first and second data sources, wherein each electronic log of the first and second data sources comprises electronic log entries, wherein said querying determines a second plurality of search results;
• compare the first plurality of search results to the second plurality of search results;
• in response to said comparison, determine a new search result, wherein the new search result is present in the second plurality of search results and not present in the first plurality of search results;
• transmit a first alert to the alert system, wherein the first alert corresponds to the new search result.
